Celebrating Somebeachsomewhere: Film Event Raises Funds for OVC

“Somebeachsomewhere: Horse of
a Lifetime”, made its big screen debut Saturday, May 4, 2019 at Mohawk Inn
and Conference Centre, Milton, Ontario.
The event proceeds were kindly donated to support equine research at
University of Guelph. The screening was
made possible through the cooperation and generous support of the Ontario
Harness Horse Association (OHHA), Eastlink Community TV, and the USHWA Canada chapter.

On May 4th, a select group of his
greatest admirers gathered to share an exclusive film fundraiser celebrating
the late pacer’s life and career.

“Somebeachsomewhere: Horse of
a Lifetime” premiered on Eastlink Community TV earlier this year, and
received glowing reviews.

Fans of the Schooner Stable’s star
enjoyed a one-time-only screening of the film May 4 at Mohawk Inn and
Conference Centre, Milton, Ontario.

Ontario Veterinary College Dean Dr.
Jeff Wichtel and Equine Guelph Director Gayle Ecker attended and introduced the
screening, which raised proceeds through donations and sponsorships. “The industry has continued to work through the challenges
of re-structuring within the Ontario racing industry,” says Dean
Wichtel. “Every donation counts to help support research towards improving
the lives of our racing athletes, and we would like to thank all the
organizers and participants of this event.”
